School Bill Desegregation Measure Faces Defusing Effort
Speaker Carl Albert aims to move a 1.5 billion Emergency School Assistance Program through the House with minimal debate and no amendments to avoid Northern liberals facing a vote on busing. The plan leverages a two thirds majority, and the bill’s fate hinges on Nixon’s ban on using funds for busing. The Senate passed version includes no busing ban, and the House version could follow, shifting the issue back to the president’s executive powers. A side note describes volunteer firemen fighting a barn fire at Union City.

Burns Says No Mandatory Controls on Interest Rates
President Nixon's new committee on interest and dividends will focus first on mortgage and consumer credit rates but will not seek mandatory controls. Burns, Fed chair, told the House Banking Committee that standby powers are possible yet unlikely to be used, as wage policies may eventually ease rates. He warned ceilings could shift funds and cited lags in mortgage and consumer loan rates.
